Founded in 2003, under the leadership of Paul Saber, President & CEO, and Patrick Rogers, Operating Partner, Manna Development Group has grown to become one of Panera Bread’s largest franchisees. Committed to operating great restaurants, a heart of service, and a desire for excellence are deeply rooted in everything Manna does. Manna currently holds the Area Development Agreement for 140 Panera Bread and Bakery Cafés across 7 states in San Diego, North and South Los Angeles, and Orange County, CA, and for Panera Cafés in Michigan, Oregon, Northern Indiana, Southwest Washington, and Colorado. Paul and Patrick have built an amazing culture and tremendous operational discipline throughout their organization by putting others above self and providing exceptional quality, service, and cleanliness.

Both Paul, Patrick, and Manna Development have a long history of philanthropy. Share the Dough is a non-profit organization that was created by this group to provide resources, financial assistance, and educational opportunities to community organizations and Manna employees. Share the Dough feels called to protect the most vulnerable individuals and, therefore, focuses their efforts on children and families in need, and their communities. Share the Dough supports organizations that provide many services including, but not limited to: support for victims of abuse and violence, necessities for children affected by war, natural disaster, famine, poverty and disease, nutritious meals, backpacks filled with school supplies and help in times of emergency situations. Share the Dough is supported by Manna employees and by guests who enter Panera cafes and “round up” their checks to support these efforts.
